I have on my car right now 265/35/19 front and 285/25/19 rear SO-4's. The SO-4's do not offer anything wider than 305/30/19's. I will be going wider when these tires wear out. I do not like the stretched look at all. There is a thread on here with the Nismo wheels and wider tires I speak of.
True. And they resist shredding better since the friction is spread over a wider area. It could be really important if the OP is going to track the car and really plans on putting major league cornering stresses on those tires. Daily driving on the street, even "spirited" daily driving on the street, no way are OEM-size tires going to have heat or shredding dissipation problems.

But those big ol' wide tires will sure look cool. Just like a real racing car .
